‘Good’ news for Adopt Birmingham
Adopt Birmingham has been judged overall as ‘good’, with the effectiveness and leaders and managers found to be ‘outstanding’.
This may be a very difficult time for you and you may be worried about what adoption means for you and for your child.
Adoption is a way of providing a new family for a child when living with their birth family is not possible. Adoption is a legal process which transfers all parental responsibility for the child from their birth parents to their adoptive parent(s).
Adopt Birmingham supports birth and adoptive parents equally. We offer a range of support for birth parents and birth relatives, before, during and post adoption.
Breaking the Cycle
Birmingham Children’s Trust offers a therapeutic support service for people who have had a child adopted and want to access support. The service is voluntary and a person can choose when they feel the right time is to access it.
Breaking the Cycle also offer the New Growth Project for care experienced people who are pregnant and living in Birmingham. This service is also available to partners who are care experienced. We work alongside people during their pregnancy and beyond, to ensure they feel supported emotionally and practically.
